“This was the third dermatologist I saw. One seemed clueless to my concern and how to address it, the second was a bit better but I felt it was a generic, ‘this the Rx’. I finally found a professional who took the time to take with her assistant prior to seeing me. Nicole welcomed me and said that she would find relieve for me. The Rx, extremely experience, started making a difference right away. I was made aware there is no ‘cure’, but a reduction in symptom. One weekl+ since my appointment I have had relief. Not magic, but definitely less pain and itching. Thank you and your staff for a pleasant experience. The staff, as well as the wait time, were better than most. Thank you all. ”

Dr. Nichole Madera is extremely attentive and she diagnosed my problem immediately. I was uncomfortable but her quick action eased my discomfort. It is the first time in months that I felt I was on the road to feeling better.

May 26, 2025Raymond L.Verified patient
Reason for visit: bump on my finger, at the joint. The treatment placed me in more pain than I started with. I was instructed for 2 weeks to place duct tape on the burn. I now have non-stop blistering. Follow up appt I advised the PA of the blistering, she burned the area again. A week later I could not stand the pain and needed another appt. My husband had an appt first thing that Monday morning with the DR, not the PA for a skin check. I went with him to see if the DR could look at my finger and tell me what to do. The doctor then looked at my finger for all of 30 seconds and told me to let it heal no further instruction and was charged for my 30 sec appt. Sadly, I had to call again the following Monday due to the pain. This PA stated that she is seeing something completely different and that she could try burning it again or refer me to a hand surgeon, that the better option would be to see a surgeon. I now require surgery; it's not an option.

Nicole is amazing! She got me in right away and saved me from a trip to the ER from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. She listened and researched and gave me the appropriate medicine, which helped right away. Nicole is a life-saver, and her staff and MA Maycie are so helpful and friendly! Definitely recommend!

Great Experience !
Nicole has an Excellent Personality to deal with patients.
Nicole demonstrated care, compassion, and a sense of urgency to deal with my health concern(s).
Nicole quickly gained my trust with an honest and straight forward rapport, that wasn't too business-like like to appear "dry", was serious enough to stress her recommendations, and was friendly enough to deliver every message with a smile.
